Each day concludes with a debrief of the day. We ask- what challenged you? What brought joy to your heart today? Each debrief is filled with many things- mostly highlights and some challenges. Examples of each are great things like bonding with the kids and them expressing their appreciation for us being there. Challenges like kids being kids- kids being possessive of their American friend and pushing others away so that no one takes their friend away. It's definitely fun for me to be there as team members process their day and this trip.
Today we had English lessons and craft time in the morning and we came back late in the afternoon because we were showing the Jesus Film. Things went really well and we were privileged as the children watched the Jesus Film- their silence spoke volumes to how it held their attention.
Tomorrow we say goodbye to the kids in Desire but we also get to say hello and spend some time with the students in the Pathways program that are from Desire. There are currently six young adults from the Desire project enrolled at Pathways. Three of them are in their second year and slated to graduate in August. The other three are in their first year at Pathways.
So we balance the hard with the great. Already weighing on the team is our return home in a couple of days and their challenge of saying goodbye. You can certainly pray for the hearts of our team members. Pray that they seek God's next step of action for them. They will be challenged tomorrow night to seek what God has next for them.
